Anxiety
Anxiety often shows up when something within us is out of alignment—
Here, we don’t try to silence anxiety. We get curious about what it’s trying to tell us.
Together, we slow down, listen gently, and begin to reconnect with what’s underneath.
What is Anxiety?
Anxiety is a natural response to stress, uncertainty, or internal conflict.
It can manifest as restlessness, overthinking, irritability, or physical symptoms like muscle tension, shallow breathing, difficulty sleeping, and more.
It’s often a messenger—a protective part trying to keep you safe, a nervous system that hasn’t yet had the chance to settle, or a signal that something in your life is misaligned.
Common roots of anxiety may include:
Living in disconnection from your values or deeper needs
Internal conflict between parts (e.g., the achiever and the part that longs for rest)
A nervous system stuck in mobilization or hypervigilance
Residual effects of past experiences that haven’t yet been fully processed
In this space, we don’t rush to fix or silence anxiety.
We turn toward it with curiosity and care—inviting deeper understanding, nervous system regulation, and a path back into alignment.
